Information is stored in the computer's hard drive, which is a magnetic disk read by lasers.
A disk drive is a device that computers can use to read and write information on computer disk. An example of one is the hard disk drive.
The hard disk drive stores information on the computer. It has read and write capabilities and the information stays there when the computer is turned off.
HDD stands for Hard drive disk. The HDD is what all your files are saved to. It a double sided disk that is build to be read at extremely high speeds.
False. Most all HDD's read information using a needle, like a record player.
Disk encryption protects the data on a hard drive from being read by someone that isn't authorized. Disk encryption works by converting the information on the drive to unreadable data.
Hard-disks are coated with iron oxide because it reacts to a magnetic source ! The information on a hard-disk is read and written by a magnetic 'head' which scans across the surface as the disk rotates.
A hard disk can be either internal or external and one can use it to save files. The parts of a hard disk are the disk case, spindle, disk platter, actuator and the read-write arm.
IF you meant 'what is a corrupt hard disk' - it's the internal mass-storage in a computer. If it's 'corrupted' it means the information cannot be read.
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
A hard disk is the physical medium information storage device of most computerized systems. It is an actual disk that rotates at high speed. The surface is coated with magnetic material, and data is stored magnetically on the surface. A tiny read/write head on the end of an arm that can move over the surface of the disk does the reading and writing to transfer the information to and from the medium.
